Sunday Night Ramblings -- September 25, 2022

Xi: the story not being reported. Where there is smoke, there is often fire. 

Truss: well, that was fast. Pound sterling crashes.

Streaming: along with "Only Murders In The Building," does Hulu have another hit on its hand, "The Old Man"? Look at this: Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow. Only two of the best.

NFL SNF: now, time for football.

NASCAR: Texas Motor Speedway

  • lap 270 / 334
  • on USA
  • but I can't find it -- must be "blacked" out since it's local
  • NASCAR shoots itself in the foot -- again
  • will watch NFL SNF 

MLB: Boston at New York Yankees

  • meaningless game for the playoffs
    • the reason to watch this game: Aaron Judge, 60 HR; could "beat" Roger Maris tonight;
  • NYY lead the AL East
  • #2: Blue Jays, 8 games behind
  • Boston? 21 games behind
  • quick, pop quiz: what is the maximum number of pitches per day in the MLB?

Wise Gals -- Currently Reading -- September 25, 2022

If you enjoyed reading about Enigma / Ultra, you should love this book:

Wise Gals: The Spies Who Built the CIA and Changed the Future of Espionage, Nathalia Holt, published September 13, 2022.

I don't think it's hyperbole to suggest five young women "founded" the CIA.

The story of the development of the U-2 and the Russian MIG that was responsible for development of the U-2 is worth the price of the book.

I will post notes on this book later. All I have so far is a "placeholder."

CCR -- The Book -- September 25, 2022

The easiest book I read this summer was:

  • A Song For Everyone: The Story of Creedence Clearwater Revival, John Lingan, c. 2022.

It was so easy, and almost so mundane I almost quit reading the book about two-thirds of the way through. Then I hit chapter 23 and, wow, what a great book! 

I re-typed chapter 23 and posted it here.

Like the rug in The Big Lebowski that tied the whole room together, this chapter tied the Vietnam War, the 60's, San Francisco, and CCR together. 

A nice summer beach book.

In a funny sort of way, it will end up on the bookshelf as a reference book. Who wudda thought?

Phages -- September 25, 2022

This was perhaps the most difficult book I read this summer:

Transformer: The Deep Chemistry of Life and Death, Nick Lane, c. 2022. 

Nick Lane is very, very good if you enjoy university-level biology and/or the origins of life. 

It was a difficult book to get through, but, wow, I was amply rewarded with the "Epilogue."

The "Epilogue" is go good, I re-typed it and placed it at this site.

Note: the author used "Brit spelling."

From that chapter:

Let me give you an example of how important this membrane potential is to bacteria. In the ocean there are about ten times as many viruses that attack bacteria (phages) as there are bacteria. You might have seen pictures of these viruses attaching themselves in droves to bacteria. Phages are remarkable, mechanical structures, like miniature lunar landeers, with the malevolence of H. G. Well's Martian tripods, anchoring themselves to the surface and injecting their DNA at high pressure into the soft body of the bacterium. Scores of them can line up like an invasion from outer space. 
The poor bacterial cell doesn't stand much chance, but it does have defences -- defences that we have recently learnt to exploit, called CRISPR, which allow for sophisticated gene editing. If the bacterium (or indeed its ancestors) has had an earlier exposure to the virus, it can recognise the viral DNA and marshal a counterattack, chopping up the DNA into bits before the virus can copy itself. But the time window is short. If there are too many phages, then there's only one way out for the bacterium: die, fast, for the good of its kin. How does it do this? It yanks open pores in its cell membrane, collapsing the electrical potential. It dies almost immediately, before the virus has a chance to copy itself and infect its sister cells. As a result of this sacrifice, at least some of its genes may live on in those sister cells -- the bacterial equivalent of us laying down our lives for family.

I first "saw" CGI of these viruses in my first year of graduate school decades ago and was blown away by what I saw.
